MIGRAINE
Dominant pounding in my head
Merciless vise
Throbbing menace
Hammer of misery
Light and sound
Exploding agony
My vision
Cross-eyed
Mangled view
Waves of nausea
Accompany the unrelenting beat
Aching demon
Anguished lightening bolt
Cranial malaise
Hysterical mirth
Greets medications feeble attempt
In silence
I endure this vicious vexation
Alleviation
Beyond my eager grasp
